Overview
Deals fail in diligence, drafting or integration — rarely at signing. We sit on both sides of the table — buyers, sellers, strategic acquirers and financial sponsors — and run M&A processes that close clean and integrate cleaner.
Our M&A practice spans share purchase, asset purchase, slump sale, schemes of arrangement, joint ventures, PE/VC investments, public takeovers under SEBI SAST, and cross-border transactions involving FEMA, FDI policy and tax structuring.
From our Defence Colony office, we coordinate with chartered accountants, valuers, tax counsel and foreign counsel to deliver tax-aware, regulator-cleared, dispute-resilient transactions. Our deal sheet has included family-owned businesses, listed companies, PE-backed groups and overseas strategic acquirers.

Post-Closing Integration
Most deal value erodes in the first 100 days post-closing. We support integration through TSA structuring, employee transitions, IP and contract assignments, regulatory filings (ROC, GST, RBI), and dispute-resolution playbooks for representation breaches. Our integration checklists are deal-tested over multiple transactions.
